I have older memories of pasting green stamps with my grandparents and new memories of my granddaughters recent Publix birthday cake. By far this grocer is the finest, most customer service oriented chain. Im truly considering moving to NC but am waiting for Publix. Glad to hear they are planning to expand to the state.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22939566.post-69746949752506507782013-04-11T14:12:07.712-04:002013-04-11T14:12:07.712-04:00Hurry and get to the Gastonia area.

Their meats are awesome, customer service out of this world and bakery products unbelievable even wedding cakes. I can't wait to see signs for one in the Denver/Lake Norman area.

The taxes are less than NC and the people are somewhat friendlier. It is convenient for folks in the Ballentyne community to drive less than ten minutes to shop at a store with great variety. Along with the new Walmart (servicing both upper Lancaster County and south Charlotte) this is a great addition. Congratulations to the Publix family for adopting us in Lancaster County!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22939566.post-42216263386272439282012-07-18T16:39:10.059-04:002012-07-18T16:39:10.059-04:00I grew up in South Florida and been shopping at Pu...I grew up in South Florida and been shopping at Publix for 40 years. They have the best customer service and large selection of brands. I moved to CT three years ago and they only have Stop n' Shop and Shop Rite, far from even coming close to Publix in terms of customer service and brand selection. I missed Publix so much that I am looking to move back south....close to Publix.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22939566.post-31969305263586855302012-06-07T21:02:39.102-04:002012-06-07T21:02:39.102-04:00The first time I went to Publix's was in Fl. ...The first time I went to Publix's was in Fl.

Not only will new stores be going up, the chain will have the seeds for a new distribution center and division.<br /><br />Ingle's Markets is eyeing Charlotte expansion also.<br /><br />As one grocer moves in, one will likely leave. Bi-Lo is not doing well in the Charlotte area; ditto for Lowe's Foods. One or both chains will retreat or be acquired within five years.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22939566.post-65112322004051782972011-09-21T16:19:15.907-04:002011-09-21T16:19:15.907-04:00It has more to do with the expense of entering a n...It has more to do with the expense of entering a new state than anything else. Publix can still pull business from Charlotte without having to go through all the paperwork and fees that would be required to do business offically in NC. It's probably also to gauge reaction to the potential entry to Charlotte itself.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
